Daily Report: Aussie Tumbles after RBA Cut 50bps, UK PMI and US ISM NextAussie tumbles sharply today after RBA unexpectedly cut rates by 50bps and issued a rather dovish statement. Also pressuring the aussie is house price index which showed -1.1% qoq fall in Q1 versus expectation of -0.5% qoq. China Manufacturing PMI rose less than expected to 53.3, is also weighing down sentiments a bit. Nonetheless, AUD/USD is hold above near term low of 1.0225 so far and markets are also generally staying in range elsewhere. Except that, yen maintains this week's gains, riding on the dissatisfaction on BoJ's pace and size of quantitative easing. |

AUD/USD Daily OutlookDaily Pivots: (S1) 1.0400; (P) 1.0435; (R1) 1.0463; More AUD/USD's sharp fall today and break of 1.0352 suggests that price actions from 1.0225 are merely a three wave consolidation pattern and has finished at 1.0473. Intraday bias is back on the downside for 1.0225 support. Break will extend the whole decline from 1.0852 and should target parity and below. On the upside, though, above 1.0473 will revive the case that AUD/USD has bottomed out at 1.0225 and turn bias back to the upside for 1.0636 resistance instead. |
